From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Cottages at Naples Bay Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
The Cottages at Naples Bay Resort sit in Naples, the polished town where southwest Florida meets the Gulf of Mexico. Your stay puts you on the coastal side of a place that has long been Miami’s quieter counterpoint on the far shore — refined and built around the water. Naples runs along the Gulf with the Everglades pressing in just beyond the last streets, so the resort sits between two very different kinds of Florida: the manicured coast on one side and wild wetland at the back door.
Step outside and you are within reach of the addresses that offer Naples its name. Fifth Avenue South strings together blocks of white-tablecloth restaurants and simple evening strolling, while Third Street South rounds out the shopping and dining a short way off. The historic Naples Pier draws its crowd at sunset, and the Naples Botanical Garden is close by when you desire a slower, greener afternoon.
Because Naples sits right on the coast, the water is never far — once your bags are down, a beach afternoon becomes the natural next move rather than a plan for another day. The resort makes a calm home base for all of it: the dining blocks, the pier, the garden, and the Gulf itself, each a simple reach from the door. It is the kind of Gulf-coast address people choose when they desire the coast refined rather than crowded, with the wild edge of the Everglades still waiting just behind town.
From the cruise terminal it is one clean run north and west to Naples — about 130.2 miles that normally take 132 to 142 minutes along I-75. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you finish clearing the hall, so the disembarkation crush is the driver’s wait, not yours. Once your group is in the vehicle, your luggage rides with you the whole way, and the ride goes straight through to the door of The Cottages at Naples Bay Resort with no stops you did not ask for.
The car is yours alone for the journey, timed to your ship rather than to anyone else’s schedule. Bags are handled from curb to vehicle and out again at the resort, so there is nothing to wrestle on either end. When the terminal empties out on a busy morning, the highway does the rest, and the fixed rate you booked is the one that stands when you reach at the door.
